Share Your Meet Your Teacher /Curriculum Night Presentations

There are several FREE online tools where you can save your Back to School PowerPoint Presentations or any other PowerPoint you create throughout the year on-line so your students and parents can refer back to your guidelines and expectations.  These resources are also invaluable if you are leading a workshop or presenting at a conference later in the year.

I personally use AuthorStream.    Just register for your own FREE account, follow their simple prompts to upload your presentation.  You can either share the URL for your presentation or embed it into your web page, wiki or blog.  You also have the option to upload the presentation to your own youtube account directly within  AuthorStream .
Here are few other slide share resources:
Slideshare  allows a mixture of videos within the presentation.  It is or was the world's most used slide share program.  Its free basic version will work for your classroom.   http://www.slideshare.net/fullscreen/AmitRanjan/quick-tour/2
SlideRocket  This resource has some excellent templates.
Slideboom   Your animations and sounds will work when you upload with this tool.
Whatever tool you choose, I think you will find many times throughout the year to use this type of resource.

Today's post  from Langwitches Blog also states to update your presentation for today's learners you will want to include more storytelling, more visuals and less text.  I am including a link to his post.  It is worth reading:  Presentation 21 Makeover.
